Dedication to Innovation: The MICHELIN Road 6 tire typifies two decades of ongoing innovations & MICHELIN Technologies from our highest level of expertise. Increased Corning Stability: MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology, which has been standard on the rear tire, is applied to the front tire for better rigidity at lean, & more stability when cornering, especially under strong acceleration or heavy braking, compared to the previous generation. Review: Amazing tire. - I've put about 3-4k miles on these and I can BARELY see it starting to flatten. I mostly use my bike for commuting in phoenix which has a lot of straight roads with almost no turns and despite that, its barely worn down. I can lean on these pretty comfortably and feel confident in them. Haven't felt them slip at all. Review: Phenomenal - These tires are amazing. My favorite tire ever. I’m honestly blown away at how capable they are. The above photos weee taken after 2 and 3 track days respectively and about 1800 and 2000 street miles respectively. Perfect tire wear. The tires have tons of grip and when they do start to slide it is a very predictable slide. I was worried about overheating these tires at the track but I did not have that problem at all, they never overheated or got greasy at all. These tires do it all, dry grip, wet grip, they don’t require warmers and they have an insane amount of life. I’m sure I could do 2-3 more track days and another couple thousand street miles which is absolutely insane. As far as road riding goes I have no complaints at all, tire has grip, wet or dry. I was honestly expecting these tires to be completely worn out after one track day but they are barely worn at all. Tires are on a 2010 multistrada 1200 and I ride in A group at the track. I don’t write reviews…. Ever. But these tires are just THAT good! For anyone who thinks they are expensive, they are. But… I’ve worn out good tires (Pirelli Supercorsa SC3, Michelin Pilot Power, Michelin Power 5) in half the time so if you look at it that way the road 6 is really a bargain. I’ll run this tire until they stop making it. ## Features - Two decades of innovation.
